Sheryl L. Foster is a Neurologist based in Westmead, NSW. She works out of Hawkesbury Road, Westmead, and looks after people with a wide mix of nervous system issues, as well as a few connected health concerns that can show up alongside them.
In clinic, she helps patients who come in for problems like headache and migraine, including ongoing or repeating episodes that affect day-to-day life. She also sees people with mood-related conditions, such as bipolar disorder and cyclothymic disorder, plus major depression. At times, she supports patients who are dealing with conversion disorder, where symptoms feel very real but the cause can be more complex than a simple scan result.
Sheryl also works with patients living with motor and muscle conditions. This can include ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), primary lateral sclerosis, and different forms of muscular dystrophy like limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. She may also look after people with dysferlinopathy. These diagnoses can be hard to cope with, so the focus is often on clear explanations, practical next steps, and helping patients understand what to expect over time.
Because health can overlap, she may also be involved when a patient has autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease or polycystic kidney disease. In many cases, the goal is to coordinate care in a way that makes sense, so neurological symptoms and other health needs are considered together, not in isolation.
Sheryl’s training is in neurology, and she brings a calm, steady approach to each appointment. Over time, she has built experience looking after people across different ages and backgrounds, from people who are figuring out what’s causing their symptoms, to people who are already managing a long-term condition. Clinical trial and research details aren’t something she lists publicly, but she aims to keep care grounded, clear, and supportive.
